THE LUTHERAN SYNOD

Will not Commit Themselves on
Woman Suffrage-Other Reports.
OMAHA, NEB.. June 12-In the Lutheran
Synod yesterday j. A. Clutz, S. B. Barnitz
and Fl. L. Baugher were appointed a COM
mittee to abridge the book of worship to
eighty pages. The report of the committee
on the letter Of the Bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal church on Christian unity was
considered and adopted. A committee of
three clergylnen and three laymen was ap-
pointed to hold further conference with
the committee of the Protestant Episcopal
church, touching the vital question of
mutual recognition and cooperation
and this committee was instructed to main
tain a position that the true Christianity
must arise out of the common faith, and to
offer as a sufficient basis for this end the
Augsburg Confession, the historic basis of
Professionalism, and, by common consent,
the most catholic expression Of the common
faith. The Committee on Woman Suffrage,
through Rev. n. VanAlstyne, reported that
while the subject was worthy of considera-
ton, it was not advisable to commit the
Synod to any definite opinion. 1t was or
dered to mil printed copy of the minutes
of the Synod to every Lutheran minister in
the United States and Canada. The next
convention will convene ON the first
Wednesday after Whit Sunday in 1889.

vICToR1A's WEDDING CAKE.
A. Jubilee Present Sent to the Queen
of England

NEW YORK, June ia piece of rich,
moldy wedding cake with an inch and half
of musty sugar frosting was sent by express
last week by the Cunard steamer as a jubilee
present to Queen Victoria. There were tar
nished silver leaves on the relic and faded
bit of ivory satin ribbon kept it from falling
to pieces. Her majesty will no doubt he sur
prised TO receive such a gift from America,
but its genuinenesS is so well authenticated
that there can be no question that il was cut
from the identical wedding cake that graced
the festive board ON the occasion of the mar
riaCc in 1S40 of the young Alexandrina Vic
tol'ia to her cousin, the handsome young
Prince Albert Of Saxe-Coburg-CIotha
How came this relic in possession of
q resident of the United States. The
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1s40 was Lord
Mulgrave. His WIFE who was noted as q leader
Of society, distributed large slice of the
cake among her friends. One Of these was
n Mrs KohleI who lived at Lower Sack
Vile street Dublin. Mrs Kohler now lives,
aud has lived for many years in Mount
Vernon, with her son-in-law, Capt. $. M.
Saunders, G. A. r. Capt SaundeIS> by the
way, is the man who toasted jeff wis at
the banquet given in honor of the Confed-
crate leader about year ago in Savannah
by the Chatham Artillery, which action
called upon him in some quarters howls Of
execration. Mrs. Kohler is considerably over
so years old and is exceedingly Ayeil pre-
served. She is still loyal subj 1sct of the.
Queen. and has treasured the pres
cious piece of cake with jealous care. She
felt, however, that as Victoria only has a
Jubilee once in fifty years, she would yield
up the novel memento TO the Empress
Queen. Of course the Queen of England
must not have express packages sent direct
to her, especially in these days of dynamite.
"The divinity that doth hedge a King ne
cessitates parcels and letters being for.
warded TO the Right Honorable the Lord
Chamberlain The cake has been sent this
functionary, and it now remains TO be seen
what the Queen will have TO say to Mrs.
Kohler when she receives the package with
he antique contents.

WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.
Rain and Sunshine Tempered Alike
for the Good Of the Farmers.


for the Good of the Farmers.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The Signal Office
has issued the following weather crop bull
letin for the week ending June IL:
TEMPERATURES.
During the week the weather has been
warmer than the weekly average in all the
agricultural districts east of the Rocky
Mountains, except in the AtlanCic States
from Maine southwark to Virginia, and into
Southern Texas This excess of tempera-
ture for the week has been greatest
in the corn and wheat regions
of the Northwest where the average daily
excess ranged above the normal, from 4 to
s., the latter excess being in Eastern Da-
kota. The conditions are most favorable in
the present stage of the crops. In the cot
ton beU the excess of temperature has
averaged from l. to 8 daily, save in Texas,
where the temperature has been about the
normal. The tobacco regions have had
weather from Il to 2 warmer than usual to
the westward of the Allegheny mountains,
while to the eastward it has been from L to
3 colder. The temperature since Jan. has
been substantially normal in the Atlantic
States and from New York westward to
Michigan, while slight deficiency, less than
a degree daily, has existed in the grain dis
tricts. A seasonable excess of temperature,
averaging from j.. TO % daily has pre-
vailed over the Ohio, the Lower Missouri
and the Lower Mississippi Valleys. During
the past six weeks, which have been i'm
portant especially for the grain growing
districts, the temperature has been steadily
in excess over the corn and wheat regions;
and has been nearly stationary in the cotton
belt, which conditions must have been most
beneficial to the crops
RAINFALL.
During the week the rainfall has been
slightly deficient in the agricultural dis
tricts, except from Western Pennsylvania
southwestward to Kansas and the Indian
Territory where a slight excess has fallen.
The showers have been numerous and well
distributed, save in a few instances of local
Importance only. A large seasonal def
cheney of precipitation over the cotton belt
has been mitigated by the recent rains,
which have been well distributed and were
of timely occurrence.
GENERAL REMARKS.
Over all the agricultural districts the
weather of the week has apparently been
favorable for the important crops, the
marked deficiency of temperature occurring
in the localities of secondary importance as
regards the staples. South of 39th paral-
lei. whore presumably grain harvesting is
now general, the weather has been favora-
BILE for that work, as no general rains have
fallen or high winds occurred, while sun
shine has been at or above the average. Lo-
cal rains have fallen in the past eight hours
or are predicted, from Minnesota eastward
to Michigan, where they will be timely and
beneficial to the growing crODS

DEPARTED COMRADES.
Dedication of the Monument Erected
by the New York Press Club.


New YORK, June 12.--The monument
erected by the New York Press Club in its
burial plot at Cypress Hills cemetery was
dedicated to-day in the presence of 1000
people, including a large number of news
paper men. An eloquent and sympathetic
address was delivered by Mr.. Chamcey M.
Depew, in which he said: sit will remain as
one OF the best deeds of the Press Club that
1t has purchased this resting place and
erected upon it this monument 1t redowns
to the honor of journalism that the fund
largely came from the efforts of one
OF its working members, whose
talents and versatility are so widely
appreciated. This cemetery is full of memo
rlals to the departed, telling their varied
stories Of family bereavements, but none of
them will have SO wide and deep a signifi-
cance as this shaft From each mournful
visit, as the survivors leave, they will bear
with them broader charity for all, a
healthier kinship for each other. The news
paper is most important factor in our So
cial and public life Through it all nations
and races, by their deeds and opinions, daily
act and react upon each other in the ap-
proach to a substantial unity in the aims
and liberties of all the people of the globe
The reader has no thought for or interest in
the great army which makes up this
library Of information, discussion and
mperlous direction, as to character and
official acts of public officers and duties of
private citizens. The journal is to him the
lmpersonal expression of popular feeling
which sways his Judgment but he rarely
recognizes the man behind it. But here all
strlteS are forgotten, and all enmities
healed, whether critics or criticized, gov
elnors or governed, employers or employees;
we are in the presence of the death of one
family and kindred with equal aims and a
common end. From this spot will flow
tender and beneficent influences, by which
the voices of those who have gone before
come to us from the spirit land
with their messages of hope and rest,
of charity, loyalty and good fellowship, on
each recurring anniversary of that sacred
day, when their children and their COM
radeS decorate their soldiers graves with
flowers, you will hang garlands upon this
shaft and strew wreathS upon the sod which
covers these humble heroes who also died at
their post OF duty, and the world will be
happier, brighter and better for this closer
communion for the strong and the weak,
the successful and the struggling, and the
prosperous and the poor
The dedicatOry ode was read by Mr.. Hugh
Yarrar McDermott, after which the address
was delivered by Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage.
The closing prayer and benediction were by
Rev. W. S. Rainsford, d. D., and the ex-
erciSeS concluded with the singing of the
doxology by Amphion chorus and the audi
